Heres a riddle i didn't get but i want to see how many people can get it.?

Question:suppose i have a cup of iced water, does the ice cool the drink or does the drink melt the drink?

Answers:
You have to think of this situation on a molecular level. The higher the temperature the faster the molecules vibrate and bump into each other. The drink is warmer and bumping into the ice which slows down the movement in the drink and speeds up the movement in the ice. So the drink warms the ice by giving up its energy.
It cools the drink.
Both. The ice cools the surrounding water, as the temperature of the ice is higher than the surrounding water. Though the surrounding water also melts the ice, as it is warmer than the ice.
if its right than that isnt one of the selections...

um well the drink cant melt the drink so im gonna say ice cools drink

edit: are u sure u didnt put that in wrong or is that really the riddle?
Ice is cold.
The drink melts the ice as ice is colder than the liquid is .
Both

The fast moving molecules in the drink will work to speed up the slow moving molecules in the ice while the slow moving ice molecules will be working to slow down the molecules in the drink. Both these reactions will take place and bring the whole system to an equilbrium that will then also be working a similar reaction with the surrounding air and the beverage and the air will also meet an equilibrium.
neither because there is no water.


just pure ice
I think your answer is wrong, it is both, put ice in a drink and check the temp. before and after. If it didn't cool a drink then what would be the point of adding ice to a drink.
